Complete deer calling system

ABSTRACT

A device made of the net material ( 17 ) on the outside. On the inside is made of industrial Cellophane ( 21 ). The net material ( 17 ) is longer in length than in width giving it the shape of a tube when top end of the net material ( 13 ) is rolled over to meet the bottom end of the net material ( 12 ) and is sewed together with a stitch line ( 14 ) so the inner component of the industrial Cellophane ( 21 ) can be installed. Once the net material ( 17 ) is full from left end ( 18 ) to right end ( 16 ) of the net material the left end ( 18 ) and right end ( 16 ) can be pulled tight and the Velcro straps ( 19 ) and ( 15 ) can be roped around the ends ( 18 ) and ( 16 ) keeping the industrial Cellophane in place. The tie down strap ( 20 ) can now be tied around the left end of net material ( 18 ) just below the Velcro strap ( 19 ) so the call can be hung for storage on a hunt.

BACKGROUND-PRIOR ART

The following is a tabulation of some prior art that presently appearsrelevant:

U.S. Patents Pat. No. Issue Date Patentee 7,029,362 2006-04-18 Halstead6,889,466 2005-05-10 Hamlet 6,757,574 2004-06-29 Gardner, et al.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,029,362 the Game Attractant is a device for generatingsounds associated with movements of animals, in specific turkey. Theinventor also claims it can be used to call deer into an area for ahunt. The problem is that deer and turkey do not sound anything alikewhen moving through the forest. These are two totally different animals,not just in appearance but also in size and weight. Another hugedisadvantage of this device is that it must be set up before one is attheir hunting spot and since most hunters are in the woods before daybreak and leave after sunset, one would have to set this device up inthe dark with little light provided by a flashlight. Hunters do not wantto assemble a device while they are on a hunt. It takes time and can beloud. This would alert any wildlife that is in their area that humansare close, thus deterring them to come into that area. Yet the biggestdisadvantage is that this call is a motion generated device for callinganimals. Since most hunters hunt from a tree stand, it would beimpossible to set this device in motion properly. In fact I don't thinkit's possible at all, thus leaving it useless for the large group ofhunters that use tree stands.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,889,466 the Deer Stomp issued to Hamlet EnvironmentalTechnologies is a mechanical device that simulates a deer hoof strikingthe ground. This call will make only one sound and that sound will soundthe same every time. In the white tails language a deer stomp is alwaysassociated with a warning call that something is very wrong in thatarea. This would warn white tails to stay away. Nature is not amechanical device that makes the same sound over and over again. Oncethe hunter reaches their tree stand they now have to set this device upbefore getting into their stand or hunting spot, this can be very noisyand inconvenient. In short hunters want a call device that is quiet,easy to transport, convenient to use and affordable. The Deer Stomp isnone of these. Another disadvantage with this call device is it cannotbe used with other calls. Hunters know that a deer stomp is a warningcall and to combine that with a doe estrus bleat, doe grunt or buckgrunt does not make sense.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,757,547 issued to Gardner, et al. is that of anelectronic prerecorded device to be played back from a receiver in aspecific area to attract wild life to that area. This system is notrealistic and is too much hassle. First, nature is not a prerecording.Second, what is prerecorded is what the hunter is stuck with. Therecording may not be the right application of the call when deer are inyour area. Hunters keep numerous calls on them so they can respond todifferent situations while on a hunt. Third, one must climb a secondtree to hang the receiver speaker then get down and climb the tree oneis going to to hunt out of. This entire process will be loud, timeconsuming and exhausting. Fourth, when electronic devices are used forcalling wildlife they tend to be very expensive, putting it out of mosthunters price range. In short there is nothing quiet, convenient, oraffordable about this call system.

SUMMARY

An improved calling device like The Complete Deer Calling System is asimple, affordable and ready to use call. This is a call device thatadds deer to environment sounds to any deer to deer calls hunters orobservers already own and love to use. It is a calling device that isvery quiet when transporting and because of its feather light weight, ittakes no effort to get it to ones tree stand for a hunt or observation.Because of its simple design and components, it can be very affordableto a hunter or observer. By adding deer to environment calls to deer todeer calls, hunters can now duplicate any scenario one has witnessed ona hunt. This gives one the chance to make all their calling techniquesas authentic to the white tails world as humanly possible. This calldevice completes every deer to deer call on the market and makes allexisting calls more realistic.

ADVANTAGES

Accordingly, several advantages of one or more aspects are as follows:the call provides hunters a device that combines deer to environmentsounds with deer to deer calls that one may already own. This willcomplete their call techniques. The call is quiet and takes no effortwhen transporting to one's tree stand or hunting spot and can be offeredat an affordable price. It can be easily used and can be applied to anytype of deer to deer call that one so desires. It can also be used onits own to represent a social call of the white tail. One of the bestadvantages is that calls like rattle bags can be put inside this deviceby removing one of the Velcro straps making it very easy to use twocalls at one time. Other advantages of one or more aspects will beapparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing descriptions.

Operation—FIGS. 10,11,12,13

FIG. 10 by squeezing the device with a left hand 22 the device will putout a call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. This is thefirst call.

FIG. 11 by releasing the device with the left hand 22 the device willput out a second call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. Buysqueezing the device with the right hand 23 the device will make a thirdcall of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor.

FIG. 12 by releasing the right hand 23 the device will make a fourthcall of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. By squeezing with theleft hand 22 again the process begins again.

FIG. 13 is a drawing of the device being used with one's feet. Byfeeding the tie down strap 20 down through a tree stand 26 from the leftside and back through the right side then tied to the right end 16, thedevice 17 is now quickly secured to the base of one's tree stand 26. Bystepping on the device with one's left foot 24 the device makes thefirst call of a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. By releasingfoot 24 the device will make a second call of a deer's hoof landing onthe forest floor. By stepping on the device with the right foot 25 thedevice will make a third call of a deer's hoof landing on the forestfloor. By releasing that same foot 25 the device will make a fourth callof a deer's hoof landing on the forest floor. The process is repeated asone so desires.

FIGS. 15 and 19 Alternative Embodiment

There are various options to seal the ends 16 and 18 of the device.FIGS. 8 and 9 show Velcro straps 15 and 19 to do the job of keeping theindustrial Cellophane 21 in place. One could sew one end shut leavingone end accessible to insert deer to deer calls like a rattle bag orsqueeze bleat. One may use a light gage rope or twine to do the samejob. When designing new prototypes a hot glue gun worked well to sealthe ends of the mesh material. All of these options are possible.

Advantages

From the description, some major advantages become evident by making andusing The Complete Deer Calling System.

-   -   (a) A device for calling deer that is feather light in weight        and is very quiet when transporting to ones tree stand or        hunting area.    -   (b) A device for calling deer that takes no effort to get to        ones tree stand or hunting area.    -   (c) A device for calling deer that combines deer to environment        sounds with the many deer to deer calls that one may already        own. This makes their call techniques as complete and realistic        as humanly possible. This gives the hunter the maximum chance to        attract deer into a specific area.    -   (d) A device that can be opened so that other deer to deer        calls, such as a rattle bag or squeeze bleat can be inserted,        making two calls in one simple device.    -   (e) A device for calling deer that when used alone duplicates a        social deer to environment call that is the calm walk of a white        tail. This lets any deer within sound range know that the area        is safe.    -   (f) A device that is easy and takes little effort to make the        deer to environment sounds.    -   (g) A device for calling deer that is ready to use on demand.    -   (h) A device for calling deer that leaves it up to the hunter        how, when, and what technique one so desires to use. Is the deer        walking, chasing a doe with a grunt call, or are there two bucks        fighting? This device leaves it up to the hunter on what call to        use based on the scenario and can change it when ever one so        desires.    -   (i) A device for calling deer that can be offered to hunters at        an affordable price because there are no mechanical or        electronic components.

This is the first device that allows hunters to combine deer to deercalls with deer to environment calls of any type and is a social call towhite tails when used alone. Here are some of the many combinations mydevice can be used with.

-   -   1. The Complete Deer Calling System is a call by itself    -   2. A rattle bag and The Complete Deer Call System.    -   3. A buck grunt and The Complete Deer Call System.    -   4. A doe grunt and The Complete Deer Call System.    -   5. A doe bleat and The Complete Deer Call System.    -   6. A fawn bleat and The Complete Deer Call System.    -   7. A nut cruncher and The Complete Deer Call System.

For the first time in the deer call market, a call that can produce deerto environment sounds is offered to hunters that is light weight, easyto transport, easy to use and can be used with the many of deer to deercalls hunters already own and love to use. It will be offered at anaffordable price because it has no mechanical or electrical componentsand is ready to use on demand. But the most unique advantage of mydevice is that it is left up to the hunter on how one may wish to applythis system to their calling technique. Hunters can decide when to useit, how long to use it and can change the application of the call ondemand. My device leaves it up to the individual to be as spontaneous asone may wish and use my device to duplicate the many different scenariosthat exist in the white tails world thus completing ones callingtechnique.
